How Kindle Ruined My Life (And, My Mac)

I’m a little behind on lists, goals, and resolutions for 2015. Come to think of it, I don’t usually make lists of any kind. But, in the process of cleaning up my mac hard drive (I have 12.7MB of free space), I realized I had over 500 ebooks in my kindle that I hadn’t even opened. Ebooks that I’ve downloaded to my mac, and not archived on my Amazon account.

I mean, WTF! 500? Even if I read one book a month I wouldn’t finish reading all these books for another 40+ years.

I know that I’m not the only one who does it. They are hoarders of every kind out there in the world. Some hoard empty cans of tuna, while people like me hoard an authors’ hard work, their weeks and months of sweat and tears, and it’s just sitting there, unread.

I feel bad. Real bad. Shame has overcome me.

So, I decided I’d read one book a day….wait..what? I mean, one book a week. Yes. That totally sounds doable. I can do that. And, so that I can somehow remedy the shame of being a kindle hoarder, I will post a review. But, not one of those general book reviews that have saturated the internet. No. My reviews will consist of how much alcohol you need in order to….

A) Read the book

and…

B) Finish the book

That’s it. Simple. Lord knows there’s enough ebooks and reviewers out there. No one cares what one more person has to say about another book. But, in this format of reviewing, I get to drink and write. Bonus!

(And, if you feel bad enough after reading this post, I can lend you one of my ebooks and you can join in on my reading quest. It’ll be fun. I’ll feel like I’m not drinking alone.)

Anyway, the first book on my my list is…….

3:Am Kisses by Addison Moore

Yes, I picked a short read. I’m not stupid. I’m busy. Short books are best. Tweets are really my thing. Short and to the point.

Oy vey.

Now, I have to fucking read. Great.
